The difference in workout for legs.

[the trainer]

So yesterday I did leg press and hack squats and leg curls to rest my back, no lunges, squats or sissy squats and this morning when I woke up I already feel recovered, if I did squats I would have being sore as hell and crawl out of bed, squat puts a different stress on the body and I guess thats why people stay away from it.

You`d never recover through one of my leg press sessions......guaranteed!!

Why not leg press are so easy you just lie there and push the weight up.

Squats really stress the muscles that are attached to the spine.... Which is good. But it's not good to have the spine stressed in that manner every single week.

Putting your feet on your boyfriend's shoulders and pushing during a rump rootering is not leg presses.

one of the tricks that i learned from a veteran is that after a heavy squat session,do some barbell pullover lying on bench,not across it..it will help release some of the stress that was put earlier on lower back/spine..

Holy Shit! Wes is so old his workout is written down in hieroglyphics? Damn, soon he'll probably died for us bitches. PIP

OK,on a good day,I would do a little something like this:

(Adjust poundage to your own needs.....this is simply an example)

1 plate per side-50 reps
2 plates per side-40 reps
3 plates per side-30 reps
4 plates per side-20 reps
5 plates per side-10 reps
3 plates per side- total failure,when you fail,take a plate off each side and go again to failure.and I mean until you can`t budge the platform.

^^^Rest only as long as it takes to change weight, and then go just before you are fully recovered.


Another tough scenario would be to warm up with a light weight for 25 reps....rest a full 2 minutes,load the bar up with a moderate poundage and go for 100 reps.........this is a fucking monster, unless of course you`re using 5 pound plates!!  

If you fail before you hit 100,strip off a plate and keep going until you hit the 100 rep mark......one set to complete failure which should be 100 reps if the weight is challenging enough.

After that it`s the rest of your normal leg workout.

Don`t ever lock the knees,even between reps if rest pausing.

The "Time Under Tension" generated by these routines is the key, and they`re also painful as hell to boot.

Bring a puke bucket and have fun!

[wes]

Just my opinion brother Nails,but wouldn`t that mean that you`d have to start out pretty heavy for the 10 rep set?

When you`re old and brittle and shit,you have to be careful.

If I knew I wouldn`t get put in "Time Out",I`d start a farewell thread!

AHAHAHHAAHHHAAH y'all train legs

i was meaning pyramid up to 10 plates for 100 reps

but no need, by the time i get to 7 plates my legs are like jello

i will usually warm up on the hack squats ill do low reps on that 8-10 up to 5 plates maybe 6

the last couple years i felt my legs respond better to leg pressing with very high reps and low weights

Nor mine... at least not overnight. Never.

Wes I can handle your workout no problem remember I use to do 20 rep squats on leg day before I strain my back last week.
